Rejected petition Reduce illegal excessively noisy car and motorbikes to create quieter streets
Noise pollution makes the lives of people in communities across Britain an absolute misery and has very serious health impacts
New camera technology was to be trialled by government to measure sound levels of passing vehicles to detect those that are breaking the law on noise limits.
More details
The government needs to crack down on the nuisance drivers who blight our streets.
In 2019 the Department for Transport stated they would target drivers who disturb communities with a crackdown on vehicles which are breaking legal noise limits.
This technology may lead the way in making our towns and cities quieter
Research commissioned by the Department for Transport, found that a noise camera system could help tackle extremely noisy vehicles which breach legal noise limits.
